The video explains the behind‑the‑scenes workflow that brought the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park from concept sketches to the final screen. It describes how storyboards were turned into animatics to plan 3D dinosaur placement, timing, and shot composition. To let stop‑motion animators work in a familiar way, a custom dinosaur input device was built, letting them manipulate 3D models remotely. The segment also highlights that practical, physical dinosaur models continued to play a significant role alongside CGI, despite public focus on computer graphics.

[FOREIGN LANGUAGE] While a storyboard is just a static sketch, the animatics helped everyone understand where the 3D dinosaurs would be, the timing of their movement in each shot, and how the individual shots related to the overall scene. And to bridge the technology gap for the stop-motion animators who were accustomed to working with their hands directly on a model, they created this dinosaur input device which allowed them to manipulate the 3D model remotely, similar to the way of working that they were comfortable with. And the physical or practical dinosaurs also played a larger role than some audiences may have realized, given all the hype around computer graphics.
